FunkBox iPad App MIDI Synced with An x0xb0x
This video demo doesn’t look like much – but it’s the first time we’ve seen an iPad app MIDI synced to other MIDI hardware
via syntheticbits:
This is a demo showing our FunkBox drum machine iPad app synced up with an x0xb0x synth, using CoreMIDI and an iPad camera connection kit with an m-audio uno MIDI interface.
This will be included as a bonus feature in the next FunkBox 2.0 update which is coming soon!
If you’re an iPad musician, the addition of MIDI sync could be a big deal.
It means that you can buy an app, for the price of a cup of coffee, that turns your iPad into a multi-touch hardware drum machine.
As more developers support CoreMIDI, iPads are likely to be attractive alternatives to some dedicated MIDI modules.
How big of a deal is MIDI sync for iOS? Let us know what you think!
Meet Limor Fried – Creator Of The Roland TB-303 Clone x0xb0x
Make Magazine talks to Limor Fried, the creator of the Roland TB-303 clone x0xb0x, in the latest Make: Shorts:
Limor Fried is the founder and engineer behind Adafruit Industries which makes electronics kits that teach soldering, tinkering, and technology exploration.
One of their projects, the Tweet-a-Watt, is a wireless modification to a common off-the-shelf home energy monitor, the Kill-a-Watt. The Tweet-a-Watt not only monitors your energy consumption, it sends the information to Twitter so you can track it online, which reveals usage trends over time. Besides selling a Tweet-a-Watt kit, Adafruit has also put the open source plans online for all to freely build and share, creating a network of makers watching their usage and swapping energy-saving tips.
While the focus is on the Tweet-a-Watt, it’s still an interesting introduction to Fried and her approach to electronics DIY.
